John 16:16 Douay-Rheims

A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

(Hom. lxxix. 1) But then, if one examines, these are words of consolation: Because I go to the Father. For they shew that His death was only a translation: and more consolation follows: And again, a little while, and ye shall see Me: an intimation this that He would return, and after a short separation, come and live with them for ever.
